So for this Friday Foodie Linkup we went with a fun theme- going green! I think there are a lot of ways this topic can be taken, right? Healthy? Literally green? Well I hope you thought of those two as they both pertain to today’s recipe! Without further ado, here is my recipe for Mint & Lime Asparagus!

Before we go green I need to address one thing- the beautiful chicken here will have its very own post Monday for St. Patrick’s Day! How does chicken equal that particular holiday? Hint: BEER.

Now onto this recipe! I think when you’re working with really basic ingredients you should opt for higher quality so you can really taste them. I chose a higher quality olive oil, fresh cracked pepper, nice ripe limes, & a mint chutney I’ve had waiting to be used.

Jump into a seriously tasty burst of flavor with fresh asparagus, mint, & a pop of lime!

Recipe type: Side Dish, Vegetable

Cuisine: Greek, American

Serves: 4

Ingredients

1 lb. of asparagus, washed & trimmed

1 to 2 tablespoons high quality olive oil for roasting/drizzling

salt & pepper to taste

1 to 3 fresh limes, you want about 1.5 tablespoons of juice

fresh mint or mint chutney

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450. Drizzle asparagus with olive oil on a roasting pan then top with sprinkling fresh pepper & salt. Make sure your spears are well covered in oil for an even cook. A good trick is to roll them with your palm lightly to make sure each is covered in oil evenly.

Roasting the asparagus adds that awesome crisp taste & you can really taste each ingredient. This dish is zippy- perfect for curing some winter blues or making use of excellent produce during warmer weather. This is also nice cold as part of a lunch, I like it mixed with a bit of couscous! I love me some green & if asparagus, lime, & mint weren’t green enough for you…please tell me below what is!
